Earnings Summary: FY2016 1H
Operating profit down 5.0% YoY, but 0.4 billion yen or 1.1% above targetDespite a YoY contraction in existing-store sales generated by fierce competition, unseasonal weather and a large decline in ticket sales, non-consolidated operating profit outstripped forecasts following effective controlling of costs primarily at Lawson headquarters. Consolidated operating profit also outstripped forecasts thanks to a strong contribution from United Cinemas and other subsidiary firms.
Net profit +14.1% YoY (+6.1% above target)We had a significant fall in 1H impairment losses compared to the previous business year when we refined our impairment loss standards.

Key Components of SG&A Expenses
Consolidated
Non-consolidated
Compared to Fiscal 2015 Compared to Plan
Consolidated
Non-consolidated
A&P: Stronger efforts to support everyday living resulted in higher franchise store product range support expenses.
Others: Higher store numbers resulted in increased HQ expenses, as HQ assumed a portion of franchise-stores costs under new franchise contracts.
In additional to non-consolidated factors, consolidated expenses also rose on expansion of Lawson ATM networks, and increased stores numbers at Seijo Ishii and overseas subsidiary firms.
2.9 billion yen below plan. In addition to non-consolidated factors, the stronger yen reduced SG&A expenses at our China-based subsidiary firms in yen terms.
1.4 billion yen lower than expected on effective cost controls primarily at HQ. HQ cost burden down on efficient use of franchise-store product range support funds. Lower electricity unit prices reduced HQ electricity payment burdened under new franchise contracts.

Earnings of Major Subsidiaries
Lawson Store100 Favorable recovery in sales with existing-store sales rising 1.2% YoY. The subsidiary turn a profit, even after incorporating the operating loss recorded on non-consolidated accounts.
SEIJO ISHIIOperating profit expanded further in FY2016 on strong sales and new store openings. Fiscal 2016 includes 14 months of performance, owing to plans to change the subsidiary firm’s fiscal year-end from December to February to align with Lawson parent.
Lawson HMV Entertainment Operating profit down due to higher depreciation on new ticket systems.
United CinemasOperating profit increased sharply thanks to numerous hit movies. Also, the decision taken in FY2015 to shift United Cinema’s fiscal year end to February meant that the 1H of FY2016, which spanned the March- August period including the summer holiday, is being compared to the less active January-June period of the previous year.
Lawson ATM Networks
Revenue up on higher ATM installations and steady YoY ATM transaction volume, but profit down slightly on costs relating to introduction of new-style ATM machines.
